Thread: Proper use of a CCW firearm

This is a local story that happened on Saturday. I know that there are a lot of gun owners here and this is a perfect example of how to use your weapon.

No one was injured and the gun owner is charged with 2 misdemeanors.

Here is the story.

You'll notice if you listen above the shouting that after one guy pulls a knife and the guy with the gun backs away, he commands the guy with the knife to back up or put it down after he pulled his gun.

Well in FL bars are one of the places where your CWP doesn't apply. If alcohol is served no weapons allowed regardless. In the county I live in firing a weapon outside of a licensed range is illegal period. I might have done the same thing the guy with the gun did if I was in the same situation ....or worse. OTOH, chances are I wouldn't have been there to begin with.

You left out the warning shot that was fired "into the ground". I happen to disagree with the firing of warning shots, especially in an urban environment. All shots fired must be intentional and controlled.

The chick with the dog looks like she is hot.

This is surfacing as the true news story here....

Now I know I'm getting old I didn't see the chick or the dog.

Well, i spotted the girl right away, so no worries here.

I agree, the redhead looked potentially hot. and if a real redhead, wowee!

I seem to remember the no bar rule, or was it no drinking? I think it was no drinking but only locations restricted were government, school and airport. but I let mine expire a few years back and have neglected renewing it. not that big a hassle, just haven't taken the time.

who knows the whole story, maybe having the gun kept a guy from getting stabbed. the warning shot sure got somebodies attention, but I agree not a good idea at the ground. and always remember what the tueller drill shows, within 21ft. an attacker with a knife is extemely dangerous.

agreed. you should never even draw it if you don't intend to shoot someone.

Doesn't firing it into the ground count as a controlled shot? I mean it's not like he fired it up in the air ala "The Wild, Wild West" style where the bullet could then come down who knows where...
He made his point, and the fight appears to have broken up at that point.
